Sunday, 20 December, SHARJAH (UAE): Austria’s Kevin Reiterer produced a flawless run in race 1 to  take his to fourth win of the year on the UIM-ABP tour and win the 2015 UIM-ABP Aquabike Ski World Championship.

A dramatic opening couple of laps saw title challengers Jeremy Poret and Nacho Armillas in trouble, defending champion Poret dropping out on lap one with engine problems, Armillas taking a big fall on lap 2 and unable to recover, finishing in 11th.

Raphael Maurin grabbed his best result on his second appearance this year finishing second ahead of Stian Schjetlein.

Another pre-race title hopeful, Mickael Poret, had his hopes dashed after struggling with technical issues at the start and coming home in fifth.

The result sees Kevin Reiterer win the title in his UIM-ABP debut season and ending the five year reign of Jeremy and Mickael Poret.
